Priming the Pump…Dr. Laura
I came across this video and I found myself really agreeing with it. I don’t watch her show, or listen to her radio show for the mere fact that I don’t watch t.v. hardly at all (as in MAYBE once a week), and I am not big on radio either. Anyway…
I was very impressed with this video and thought I would share it…After you watch it…leave us a comment letting Marc and I know what YOU do to prime the pump in your marriage…we want to hear from husbands AND wives. :)

I haven’t watched the video yet but I am going to tonight. I am sure it will be simple but profound. I LOVE her book…”The Proper Care & Feeding of Husbands” It is very challenging to me but a great book. I do find my self being more aware of whether I am encouraging my husband daily. When I do, I can notice the difference in our relationship!

I think it is important to encourage our mates daily, hourly…as often as we can! There is enough out there to cut them down, you know?
Good job Lisa!

Date night - just the two of us once per week. Small cards, notes, emails and text messages just as a reminder that I’m thinking of him the rest of the time.

I used to do specal things for my wife but;i got tire of her getting mad about everything like the bed sheet came off the bed/ she cant find a pen her hair looks like dog ears/she was hungry/she was hot/her cookies looked burnt/ I could go on she gets mad about everything and anything we gone to councling and she got mad about that to. how do you get roamance out of that I know that romance and sex is a big diffrence but they both could start in the kitchen but wen someone gets mad over just about everything its hard to be romantic

It is difficult when someone is dealing iwth anger. Have you tried to find the root of the anger? Generally if I am angry alot there is an underlying frustration that i am dealing with.

there could be a root problem but when she is in public the things that make her mad at home, she lets it roll off her back

That is not unusual. Most people act differently around other people than they do family.

we’ve gone to counseling in the past she has asked me to go . nothing changed so the last time i went by myself i thought if i could learn howto live with her getting mad all the time. I told my counsle tha i wanted to go by myself for a while so she could see that i was tring i come home one day and she was mad YOUR COUNSLER CALLED ME I ALREADY KNOW I GET MAD SO WHY SHOULD I GO i got disgeraged and quit going cause if we both don’t work together it wont work.now i have two girls that act the same way

You should continue to go, if only for yourself. :)
